The monthly 80 shot National
Match Course (NMC) is held the second Saturday of each month with the
3x600 shot on Sunday.
Commonly referred to as an “across-the-course” match, the 80
shot NMC consists of a specific course of fire, fired from the 200, 300
and 600 yard lines. The 3x600 includes three stages where all firing is
done from the 600 yard line – thus the name “three times 600”.
See the Match Bulletins for match specific information. |

Squadding begins at 8am in the parking area next to the 300
yard line for the NMC match and in the 600 Yard parking area for the 3x600
match. Firing for the NMC commences promptly at 8:30am, 9am for the 3x600. A relay system is used to determine
in what order each competitor shoots, scores, or performs pit duty. All
competitors are required to perform scoring and pit duties as part of this
match. Matches typically end around 4pm. Bring your own food and water.

Interested? We invite you to participate! Loaner equipment,
such as mats and spotting scopes are often available if requested in advance.
If all the gear or distances still seems a bit intimidating, the 100
